So, Ana-Patrick COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED HER CAKE!! I mean, it was the funniest thing I have ever witnessed my little girl do. Meanwhile, Grant is sitting right next to her picking at his cake every-so gently, eating away. I had cake in my hair, it was on the wall, floor, EVERYWHERE. I love that this is how she reacted because only MY child would do this!! I love you Ana-Patrick and thank you for all of the laughs you bring to my day!!

So, the birthday party was an amazing success. Obviously, we did a polka dot theme with gender neutral colors for both Grant and Ana-Patrick. I bet you are sitting at your computer right now thinking to yourself, “Man, I wonder how much she paid for those cakes?”. Guess what…I paid NOTHING!! My amazingly talented aunt, Jill, made these 3 cakes from SCRATCH. It was also her first time using fondant so she was nervous but I never doubted her ability from the start. They turned out better than I imagined and am so thankful for you Jill. My mom helped with the centerpieces (which are cut out flowers, per Whitney’s hands) and I made everything else. I will post their invitations so you can see my digital art work. The following post will include pictures of Ana-Patrick AFTER being introduced to her very own birthday cake.

My little angel has had her 1st birthday party already. I really CANNOT believe that it has been a whole year already. Wow, it sure went by fast. The post to follow will include more pictures from the party and an explanation of her ‘encounter with the birthday cake’.

So, Ana-Patrick is really into puppets right now and I think it’s because she has been watching the Baby Einstein DVD’s since she was just a tiny baby. It is the funniest thing watching her watch the puppets on TV so we decided to do a puppet show at her birthday party. My mother, being as talented as she is at sewing, agreed to make the puppets. When we got to Shreveport last Thursday, she gave Ana-Patrick the 6 or 7 puppets that she had made and this is the ‘puppet theatre’ that she made. UNBELIEVABLE! Thanks so much mother, I know one day Ana-Patrick will look back on this and know how much you care for her.

Our little girl loves some food…Peyton fixed a plate the other night and Ana-Patrick wouldn’t let him eat. She loves her Peyton!!
Thank you so much Sweety for her new slide! She absolutely loves it. Unfortunately, the weather hasn’t been nice enough for us to bring it outside, so of course I now I have a slide to add to the ball pit in the living room. Oh well, whatever to keep her entertained.

On her actual birthday this past Thursday, Jessica, Rick, and I took Ana-Patrick to this indoor play place for toddlers. She ABSOLUTELY loved it!
Jess gave Ana-Patrick this adorable horse toy that she has played with every time we go to the store. She has the baby stroller that goes with this collection (I know...) and so she was so excited to get this gift. Jess, you are so good to me and my little girl. We both love you!

This post is a little late, but I have been CRAZY busy making invitations, working, and other things. This picture was taken last week at the hospital that I work for. They gave all employees a free, live Christmas tree. This was my first experience picking out a tree and what an amazing one to have with my ‘family’.

I am so thankful to have such an amazing friend. God knew that after losing Cassidy, I desperately needed someone in my life to share the different things in life with. Jessica has been there for me, she loves my daughter, and we have so much fun together. Thank you Jessica for ALL that you do!!
